Part 4/5:
The injury situation also looms large over the Knicks, particularly regarding players O.G. Anunoby and Mitchell Robinson. Anunoby has been listed as day-to-day. Recent reports suggest he participated in part of the shootaround, indicating encouraging progress. Coach Tom Thibodeau noted that Anunoby's situation is largely precautionary and expects him back sooner rather than later, potentially before the All-Star break.
On the other hand, Robinson is still in the recovery phase and has yet to be cleared for full contact practice. The Knicks are likely to take a cautious approach in bringing him back into the rotation, given the extensive time he has missed.
